I am a lady who is seeking for love because I am ready to settle down. I was bored that day and was searching for dating sites, I downloaded some from play store but I need to pay for premium.

I don't know how I stumbled on this website called NAIJAPLANET. It is free and no payment needed so I registered and uploaded my picture not quite long I started receiving a lot of messages from men that likes my profile. I chatted with a lot of men both the ill-mannered, sex starved and not serious ones. But a guy stood out, he claimed to be in US and ready to get married so he was introduced to the website from his friend who found love on the website. Chatting with him was interesting so I decided to give him my number so we continue talking on Whatsapp. He suddenly sent me a message one evening that I should please send 1k to his mom that she is stranded and he is not chanced to make any transactions, I felt somehow like how will you claimed to be wealthy and your mom can't have 1k. Since it is a small amount, I decided to send it then he sent me a message that he was just testing me to see if I was different from other ladies that he is really flabbergasted that I will sent it that he is going to surprised me with gifts. It was nothing to me, then he asked me what I need as a lady trying to get my business together, I need sewing machine and money for other accessories. So he said he is going to get them for me at his end and send it to me in Nigeria so I was happy like it's a dream come true. He sent me pictures of the machine he claimed to bought, shoes and he said he hide money in the package. He was supposed to send it to Lagos but said he couldn't get anywhere close but Abuja which is through FedEx. I was concerned because I have never travelled that far before so I asked him if it can be sent to Lagos if it arrived at Abuja and he said yes.

To cut this short, I was so happy that evening telling my sister that my dream as a fashion designer is coming through. So after some hours, he sent me a message that he mistakenly dropped his wallet which has his work permit in the package. I was shocked and couldn't typed to express how I feel. He said he can't move around or work without his permit that I should let him know if I received the call for the package. I am a friend of Chatgtp so I always ask AI of things confusing, AI said he is suspicious that he should try tracking the package with the ID given to him so I messaged him to ask of the tracking ID but he was trying to avoid it which makes it more suspicious. I was also praying because it might be true, I assure him that I will let him know if I received the package. It was 1am at midnight, I was still awake and praying then he sent me a message asking if I have heard from them and I said no. After 10 minutes, I received a message from a number on Whatsapp that I have a package in Nnamdi Azikiwe airport that I should call a particular number for claiming.

Guys, I couldn't laugh because I do shop with Jumia and they don't send info about package like this, they either call, text or send an email. I went to Google and search for FedEx customer service number to compare with the one I have, it was different. I called the customer service number I saw on their website to confirm and the voice was informing me of their international customer service number as if they are aware that people do use their company to scam people. Then I decided to call the number of the said customer care from Whatsapp. He said that I have a package in the airport that I should come and pick it but if I can't, it can be delivered to me at my address which I have to pay the sum of 10k first. Even on Jumia, I like payment on delivery so I said I only have cash that I will pay on delivery he was furious and asking I should pay some of the money upfront first. I mentioned my US guy that they want 10k and I only have cash so he was pressuring me to do something about it because of his wallet that he already hide money inside the package.

I was tired of everything and it was late so I decided to let him know that I am aware of the scam that he is not smart enough and I advised him to top up on his game.

THIS IS NOT A MADE UP STORY
I WILL ATTACH SCREENSHOT OF EVERY CONVERSATION WITH HIM ON THE POST. I DECIDED TO SHARE THIS STORY TO LET THE NAIVE NOT TO FALL FOR THIS KIND OF SCAM.

This is my first experience, I am now wondering if my body is attracting scammers no be say I get money o

Congratulations for being very smart.

You even had patience. As soon as I read the grammatical error laden message from the so called cargo company, na there everything for end.
' Haha . ' understatement. ' Sorry about your experience O.P . ' Thank God you were attuned enough. ' personality seems quite pragmatic too .

People still use naija planet?? That website is older than old itself.
I also agree that ladies always look for quick elevation in the name of dating. All the naija guys are weirdos but na UK guy be the one.
Anything too good to be true is a scam.
You are lucky you lost only 1k
Very funny People bro.

The truth is you will rarely find a real, responsible and intentional man go to a dating app to find a marital relationship because majority of the ladies on dating app are either for ho ok - up or old cargo left overs. The ladies in their prime are there for hookups while the old cargos (left overs ) are looking for emergency husbands like our sister labake1 here.

The men on dating app are sex starved as she said, simps or scammers and lots of ladies have been scammed on dating app, I think after fake prophets and native doctors, it's dating apps that have scammed ladies the most.

A lady in her early and mid 20s will be dating men that are 10 - 15+ older than her (married men, sugar daddies, Yahoo boys and co) and when she clocks 33 -35+ she'll start looking for her age mate or younger men that will marry her within one month of relationship (that simp that will propose marriage to her within one week)

You can't eat your cake and have it

try dressing well and moderately seductively and spend money on ur appearance too... then try going out to catch fun lyk bars, clubs, hangout spots. Also frequent church and church services. Hide ur desperation.


If u were to be in Abuja, i would have introduced u to one of my shy friend. He is well to do financially bt he is shy with women.

Re: My Experiences With Two Scammers On A Dating App by Merry100:
Many women don't go out often, yet complain about a lack of options. Why not attend parties, events or other gatherings to mingle in person? Online dating isn't always the best way to meet quality men.

Forget the misconceptions online that men are scarce. Men are out there, actively looking for women. What is scarce are good women who put themselves out there.

Nightlife is a great option as well. Going out at 7:00 or 8:00 p.m is not inappropriate if you are old enough and wise enough to manage the situation.

Good men aren't going to come knocking on your door. If you want the power to choose instead of settling for what is available, free yourself, go out, and enjoy life.

Visit eateries, restaurants, bars, lounges, or any spots where people gather, especially in the evening, and make yourself visible. Visibility creates opportunity, and opportunity creates choice.

Be confident in yourself. There is a good man for every woman. Many women who are even average-looking have amazing partners.

Which one is "luring innocent men" into marriage, so women are automatically the guilty ones? You actually think men are doing women a favour by marrying them? Last I checked, it is still a woman a man would marry. Or do you and your like-minded critics want to take the place of women and start settling down with men yourselves?

Because I still don't understand how a lady attending social gatherings and seeking a potential partner; or being over 20s automatically means she has a "history" to explain. Do men go from house to house searching for a wife? Isn't it the women they meet that they would select from?

If a lady was busy building herself in her 20s or hadn't yet found her potential partner, should she have just married the first man who came along?

It is good for women to have standards and work on themselves. But when a woman is ready to settle down, visibility matters too.

It is not just about intelligence, decency, virginity, or talent. Standards, self-worth, and visibility work hand in hand. Without balance, even a lady with all these attributes can end up with the wrong man. And sometimes, even without them, some ladies still end up with a good man.

I once followed my uncle to a social club frequented by top people in Nigeria. I saw a lady I knew there; she came with one of my uncle's friends. She used to be a tenant in a Lekki property I manage, with rent around 3.8 million naira. She seemed to be in her late 30s, she is a SSCE holder and she was running a small business. I have altered and kept some details vague because my goal is not to single her out. At the time, she was dating multiple men, all of whom were taking care of her, and none of them knew.

Today, she is the wife-to-be of a wealthy, caring man who genuinely loves her. From my observation, though he is very wealthy, he is calm, kind, and not the type to look down on women or treat them like trophies. I know several other cases like this.

I have met women who relocated to Lagos from other states; especially Edo ladies; specifically to find partners, and they succeeded. Meanwhile, some Lagos women still claim there are no good men in the city because of misconceptions passed down to them.

When I say "good men," I don't mean just wealthy men; good men can even be struggling men with strong character, future plans, clear goals, and visible potential. They can be excellent partners because both can grow together.

Critics like you are one of the reasons many people, including men, end up with the wrong partner.
